[QUOTE]Originally posted by Antalas: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] ^ Notice how he admits that North Africans share affinities with Sub-Saharans including very dark skin, but they still aren't black. [b]LOL[/b] :D This is like saying southern Europeans like the Greeks share affinities with northern Europeans but they still aren't white. Funny thing is Classical authors like the Greeks and Romans outright called Egyptians 'black' people. There's no arguing with people that deep in denial to the point of irrationality. [/qb][/QUOTE]"very dark skin" is induced by high level of SSA therefore can't be native to our mediterranean area. The berber genetic profile is mostly defined by EEF, IBM and natufian or steppe ancestry therefore "very dark skin" can't be regarded as indigenous berber trait. Many north africans today have black slave ancestry which can produce dark types but still they aren't perceive as black by their fellow countrymen. Here a quick example so you understand : Obvious recent SSA ancestry but not seen as black by north africans or europeans : [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/Me6pmS8.jpg?1[/IMG] And Greeks/Romans didn't really call egyptians "black" or else they would have considered them "aethiopians". "Black" in some context simply meant dark/swarthy which is kind of obvious when you compare an average egyptian to greeks or italians. People who knew them well could easily make the difference : [QUOTE] As for the people of India, those in the south are like the Aethiopians in color, although they are like the rest in respect to countenance and hair (for on account of the humidity of the air their hair does not curl), whereas those in the north are like the Egyptians. [/QUOTE]Strabo, Geography 15.1.13 Also don't bring herodotus pls this has been debunked again and again. [/QB][/QUOTE]
